Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken at my in-law's place, on their patio. I had just gotten extension tubes for my camera and I wanted to try my hand at macro photography.Time
This photo was in the early evening.Lighting
The light is all natural. The sun was starting to get lower in the sky, and it was coming in from behind the trees near the hill.Equipment
I used my Canon EOS Rebel T3, the standard lens that came with it, and the Inseesi extension tubes.Inspiration
I wanted to play around with Macro photography, and these little guys were around. My son kept taking the live ones out of the in-law's house and bringing them to me. So I took pictures of them. In focusing on the different ones, I saw that the others were going out of focus. I have pictures of each different one in focus.Editing
I merely did some adjusting to bring out the colors a little more. At the time, my settings on my camera made it so that they were coming out in neutral tones.In my camera bag
I still have just my camera, the one lens it came out with, and my extension tubes.Feedback
Take the time to play around with your focus. Get down as low to the ground as you can, while also playing with different angles and viewpoints.
